First Beach was empty. The air was cold and wet. We walked along listening to the waves break against the shore.
Time alone was something we rarely got after the girls returned from the cruise from hell. So we took advantage of it when we could.
Her voice broke through the quiet like a soft melody. "I don't think I will ever be able to thank you enough for everything you have done."
I placed my finger across her lips to shush her. "Don't Bella, all I ever need is to know you are safe."
Her head tilted up to me in a silent request, one to which I gladly answered.
I slid my hand behind her neck and drew her closer as my lips brushed across hers.
I felt her catch her breath as I claimed what was mine. She tasted so sweet.
Her hands slid up my chest and gripped my shirt. I gently moved my left hand around her waist to keep her close. I needed to feel her against me.
Her kiss was intoxicating. I felt lightheaded.
I danced my tongue along her lips to entice her response.
She finally began to let her guard down and kiss me back. I knew the second her wall went down. Her body relaxed, her mouth was teasing and tasting mine. I nibbled on her lips and kissed my way down her neck.
She trembled in my arms. I broke our kiss easily and pulled back a bit.
Oh crap, I've let her get a chill. I looked in her eyes and she was pouting so cute.
I chuckled at her, "Don't worry Babygirl, as much as I'd love to stand here and kiss you all day, I don't want you to get sick from staying out in this weather too long. So come on let's get you home and into some dry clothes."
We headed back to my car and listened to music all the way to her house.
"Bella, I want to ask you something and I want you to think about it before you answer okay?"
She looked at me questionably and nodded.
"I want to take you to Seattle for the weekend. We can leave Friday after your dad goes to work and be home Sunday evening. It will be completely up to you if you tell your dad you will be with me or not. But if you want, I will come ask his permission."
We were still sitting in my car in her drive. I didn't say anything else, I didn't want to push her.
She looked to me as if she were deep in thought. Then she grinned sheepishly up at me and asked what she should pack.
"Anything you want to, we can go do whatever you want."
"Oh yeah? Anything? Hmmm that might be really interesting, Mister."
"Miss Tease sticking her two cents in huh?"
"Wait until you are on your way home Sunday and tell me who was teasing." She winked at me as she got out of the car.
"I'll talk to you later Babygirl"I chuckled.
As I drove home, I thought this was the most I had driven a car in many years. Up until now, I ran most of the time, never had a reason to drive.
I grinned at the thought. It seemed to me that Bella had become my reason for a lot of things lately, driving, laughing…living.
I called the hotel and booked a suite as soon as I got home.
I put my ear plugs in and cranked up my music. Closing my eyes as I leaned back on the sofa to listen.
I heard the door opening and assuming it was Emmet and Jas coming home I didn't even bother getting up.
Suddenly I felt a hand sliding up my chest. I jumped up and saw Bella standing there laughing.
"Heyyyyy you! What do I owe this surprise to?"
"Well my dad has to work nights tonight and I just told him I didn't want to stay there alone and said I was going to come crash on you boys' sofa. He figured it was about the safest place for me, so he said okay."
"So tell me, are you up for a new houseguest tonight?"
"Absofuckinlutely!" I grabbed her and pulled her into my lap.
She laid her head on my shoulder and cuddled in. Her body melted into my form and fit so perfectly.
I closed my eyes and just breathed her in.
This is what life was about for me now. This beautiful woman on my lap.
I should have known it was too good to be true, Emmet and Jas came running in and both pounced right on top of us.
"Oh Edward we missed you" they teased.
"Yeah right, why don't you guys run away from home already?"
"We would, but you'd be far too lonely."
"I'm willing to give it a try, come on, be a sport and donate yourselves to science."
Bella had rolled off the sofa and was laughing as she pelted Emmet with a pillow.
"Where are your better halves, guys?" she asked.
"Alice talked Rose into going shopping and that means we get a new show this evening of all the goodies they bought." Jasper was grinning ear to ear.
"Well if you really wanted to get on their good side, you boys would just show up at the mall and offer to carry all their bags for them. Talk about brownie points."
"Oh great idea Bella, thanks. Come on Jas let's go make some points."
They hopped up and took off out the door before either one could realize they were being played.
"Oh you are GOOD, I'm impressed!"
She laughed as she kicked her shoes off and came back over to where I was sitting.
Instead of pulling her back down to my lap, I stood up and reached to turn the stereo on. I pulled her to me and wrapped my arms around her tiny body.
"No Air" by Jordan Sparks and Chris Brown was playing softly.
I began to sway slowly and slid my hands up and down her back. She pressed her body up tight and tiptoed to move with me.
I sang quietly in her ear as we danced. The lights were off, the music low and our bodies moving together.
I leaned in to smell her hair, to kiss her forehead, to lick across her lips. Then I took her chin in my hand and tilted it up so I could kiss her.
Parting her lips with my tongue, sucking and tugging at her bottom lip, I felt her completely give in to me and allow me to explore our kiss deeper. Our tongues dancing together, meeting, playing.
Bella was matching my kiss with equal intensity. I gripped her hair, pulling her head back so I could lose myself in this woman.
She hooked her fingers in my belt loops and pulled me against her while we moved.
I heard a low moan escape from her and God help me it turned me on.
My hands teased over her body, each sway, each movement carefully choreographed to the music.
We found the natural rhythm our bodies could sing to in unison. We fit.
We nibbled, licked, and kissed for the duration of that song and the next three as well.
It felt kind of good to be dancing here with Bella in the dark, barefoot.
"I booked the hotel for the weekend"
She looked up to me with hooded eyes, driving me insane and took a deep breath.
"Umm, are we ALL going?"
"I figured we could do just fine without chaperones."
"Now aren't you getting hungry? It's way past the normal time you eat dinner."
She blushed…
"Yeah I am sort of starving, I just didn't think you had any regular food around here."
"I don't keep much on hand, but I thought we could call out for some Italian, if that's okay with you."
"Sounds perfect Edward, thanks."
We sat in the middle of my bed watching DVDs while she ate.
We ended up propped on the pillows watching "Last Tango In Paris" together.
She fell asleep there in my arms with the movie still on. I turned of the remote and slid down a little in the bed. I laid there holding her and letting her sleep.
I reached over and very carefully moved a strand of hair that had fell in her face.
Her eyes slowly opened and she looked up at me dreamily.
"Hey, you."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up."
"No it was my fault, I wasn't intending to fall asleep on you either."
"Hey it's a gift I have, I bore all my women to sleep."
"Oh yeah? Well I suppose I will just have to teach you new games to keep them excited won't I?"
"Mmmm how about I just work on keeping you excited?"
With that, I crushed her mouth under mine in a hungry kiss. Which I must admit she met with much vigor.
Her hand glided up my back and caressed my skin. The warmth of her body against mine was exhilarating. She could send shivers down my spine just by touching me.
I kissed down her chin and continued across her lovely neck. I carefully placed tiny kisses, barely touching her skin, just enough to make her sigh and lean her head back for more.
Her breathing sped up and got deeper. Her body pressed up to me, she had yielded her resolve…
I was in heaven here. Hearing every little sigh that escaped her lips, every throaty moan, made me want to please her more and more.
I moved my hand up her rib cage, sliding it slowly between her breasts. She was perfectly still.
Spreading my hand out I slid my thumb across her shirt and rubbed it over her nipple lightly.
She caught her breath quickly as I did, and I felt the nipple harden immediately in response to my touch.
Her entire body was taught. Her nerves on edge for me. I smiled at her as I lifted her t shirt just a little and bent my head down to kiss her belly button.
Kissing across to the right then the left slowly, teasing, tasting her body. My hand went over to caress her breast. My tongue licking at her beautiful flat tummy. I could feel her body as she moaned for me.
"Bella, you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."
Dipping my head between her breasts I kissed the trail. My hands on each side of her hips working my way up to claim her mouth again with mine.
I was so addicted to her, to her taste, her smell, the feel of her against me, everything.
I pressed my body to her and she automatically arched. Her back raising off the bed to meet mine. Both of us in sweat pants wasn't helping any.
I hooked my fingers in her waistband and in one swoop had her sweats pulled down her legs and tossed on the floor.
I gazed lovingly at her baby blue panties, the way they accented her hip bones was scrumptious.
I traced a finger slowly across the bikini line, feeling her skin twitch as I did.
I was in no hurry, we had the rest of our lives. This was only the beginning.
I continued tracing across her pelvis, my fingers grasping her hips and bringing her even closer to me.
I leaned in to flick my tongue over her shirt and tease her nipples. She wiggled at that one and I grinned up at her.
"Mmmmm, you are quite tasty. I think I could probably just lay here and lick you all night and never tire of it."
She blushed and softly said "You don't hear me complaining do you?"
Just for that answer I licked all the way up her cheek, making her giggle.
I scooted my body between her legs. I knew she could feel how my body wanted her. No, not just my body. I needed her in my soul. I needed her to feel my love, to feel how much I cherished her.
Our kiss deepened. My hands caressed and teased, my hunger growing more and more.
She grabbed my shirt and pulled it over my head and tossed it.
My fingers were moving up the outside of her thighs, her hips, crushing her tiny body and feeling it move up to mine like the last piece of a puzzle coming together and making a beautiful picture to treasure.
My fingers gripped her shirt and I began to tug it up.
BANG! BANG! BANG! Came from the wall to our left.
We both burst out laughing. Emmet!
"You two cut it out in there, for God's sake some people are trying to sleep in this house." You could hear them both roaring with laughter.
I grabbed my clock off my bedside table and slammed it against Emmet's wall.
Bella hugged me to her and smiled, "You did say they wouldn't be there this weekend right?"
